#A good not-white from Vallejo

Hello - looking for a recommendation for a good paint, either from Model Color or Game Color, to use as a replacement for pure white when paiting larger surfaces. Simple Dead White and its equivalents are a nightmare to work with as we all know so I'd like to find something that's near-white, with any slight tint to it, that has a regular pigment size, covers well and all that. After checking out Vallejo's charts, I can think of a few choices:

Model Color:
White Grey
Silver Grey
Pale Grey Blue
Cold White
Off-White

Game Color:
Off-White
Wolf Grey
Glacier Blue

What I'm actually asking about is the pigment size, coverage and all the like of said paints above - to avoid hypothetical situations where I, let's say, get Cold White only to find it's just as difficult to work with as regular Dead White. Any of you got any experience with either of these paints and how much easier they're to lay down onto a model when compared to pure, spot-on white?

Thanks in advance.

When in doubt: ivory

#

Idk if that’s a color from Vallejo it’s just a good color

#

Cold grey is a good color, and pretty easy to work with

Mhm, Vallejo has Ivory

#

Thank you~

#

It seemed a bit too bone-like on the colour sample but I looked up some minis painted with it as a base and it looks sweet
And supposedly is comfortable to use and paint with

Yeah, I try to look at Stalhy's painted-on swatches for that

Anyway, got GC Wolf Grey and it's exactly what I needed
